About Us
We specialize in producing a few quality, health tested, well socialized Labrador Retriever litters a year. Our focus is breeding well rounded, dual purpose Labradors. We live on a small family farm in Hartly, DE. Our dogs are raised in our home with lots of love and socialization. We practice early desensitization and conditioning on puppies from the time they are born to get them used to different sounds, surfaces and socialized with different animals and kids. The puppies are introduced to crate training and begin potty training before they go to their new homes.
We screen all of our puppy buyers to ensure they have responsible and loving forever homes. We take great pride in having great relationships with our Triple Threat Labrador family. We offer lifetime breeder support and enjoy receiving updates on our pups. If you are interested in placing a deposit or get added to our waitlist, please fill out the puppy questionnaire form in the top corner. We take 3 pre-whelping picks for males and 3 pre-whelping picks for females and fill the remaining spots when the puppies are born. All the studs we use will be genetic tested and OFA certified at the minimum. Cost of puppies vary by litter depending on the stud we use and whether it’s through A.I. or natural breeding. Please see our “puppy availability” tab in the top right corner for PRICING and more information on our litters. All puppy deposits are $300 to reserve your pick and the balance is due at pick up. Picks are done when they are ready to go and are in order of deposit. Balance is due at the time of puppy pick up.
We have partnered with a company to offer zero interest financing that uses Klarna and Afterpay. They pay us in full when the puppy is picked up while allowing buyer to make payments to them.
Discounts for repeat families/buyers, for First Responders and teachers.
Please note, for bio-security reasons, we do not allow visitors until puppies are atleast 6 weeks old. We post videos and pictures weekly to our social media sites so you can watch them grow until they are ready for visitors.
We will schedule visits in 60 minute time slots but more time can be requested. We will let families know the personalities of each puppy to help match them with the traits they are looking for.
*Pre-whelping deposits are only refundable if the specific color or gender isn’t produced. Deposits can be moved to another at any time.

FAQ
Common Inquiries
How does the picking process work?
We take 6 pre-whelping deposits. 3 for males and 3 for females. At 8 weeks old, you will be scheduled to pick your puppy out in the order of deposits received. We reserve 1st picks on every litter and if we don’t retain a puppy, everyone will get bumped up in the pick order.
Is my deposit refundable?
Deposits are not refundable unless the color or gender of the puppy you requested in the litter isn’t produced. In certain circumstances, a deposit can be transferred to another litter.
Can I move my deposit to the opposite sex?
If you change your mind on the gender after placing a deposit, it can be moved if there is a pick open. Your place in the picking order could change though.
What do the puppies eat?
We feed our dogs 4health original dog food. Our puppies eat the lamb puppy food and our adults eat the salmon & potato. It is exclusive to Tractor Supply. It is corn, wheat and soy free but does have grain. We recommend feeding diet WITH grain for cardiovascular health.
We send a 5lb bag of puppy food home so you can gradually transition the puppy to the food of your choice. We do not recommend grocery store dog food.
